Asian Identities

Please note: this is archived course information from 2022 for ASIAN 303.

Description

Students explore the changing and contested nature of Asian Identities through readings of seminal scholarly and theoretical texts on each theme, combined with analysis of the ways these themes are reflected in film, fiction and other popular cultural texts. The four themes of nationalism; gender; minorities; and indigenous rights, and a concentration on post-1945 East and South-East Asia provide the focus.
